Show Notes
Downtown Oaklands small businesses struggle as Kaiser Permanente reduces office presence, leading to empty storefronts and decreased foot traffic. Owners like Mejia, whos run his bar since 1992, feel the impact. Economists attribute this to office consolidation and remote work, with nearly 38% of central business district office space vacant. Kaiser remains committed to Oakland long-term, but local spots face challenges amid the slowdown.
